Arctic Dialogues — Lessons from the Arctic: The Role of Regional Governments in International Affairs (Discussion & Virtual Book Launch)

We are delighted for this first event of the season in Tom Axworthy‘s Arctic Dialogue Series. His guests will be Emily Tsui, Inuuteq Holm Olsen, William MacKay, and Susan Chatwood – who will each present on their work and ideas before joining Sara French-Rooke for a conversation and to answer viewer-submitted questions for a moderated panel discussion.

Lessons from the Arctic: The Role of Regional Government in International Affairs is a recently published collection of articles written by twenty-six leading and emerging scholars from across the circumpolar region. Each author assesses and explores the processes of regional governance in the Arctic from an interdisciplinary perspective. The topics include Indigenous internationalism, paradiplomacy, federalism, global institution-building, and more.

This virtual book launch is a discussion among the co-editors and three of the book’s authors on the role of subnational and regional governments in the Arctic today. The discussion will also cover contemporary responses by these governments to the COVID-19 crisis and how national Arctic policies might better incorporate the perspectives and priorities of local governments. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions by using the hashtag #ArcticLessons on Twitter or by emailing arcticlawgroup@gmail.com

This book launch is sponsored by Massey College, The Gordon Foundation, The Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History, and the Arctic Law Group at the Faculty of Law.
